If you are currently in fourth grade or below right now, you will get an amazing schedule from us every three days so you can try a little of everything. This way you can just focus on having a wonderful time and trying everything out. Of course, each day for two periods, everyone chooses activities from a variety of categories (i.e. land sports, water sports, hobbies). It’s called “Cobbachoice” and it’s awesome. If you are in 5th or 6th grade, the first three days we give you an “observation schedule” and then after that, you can customize as much as you like! If you are in seventh grade or higher, you choose everything! The schedule works on a three-day rotation, so nothing ever gets repetitive.

The great thing about Cobbossee is that it’s just about the best place in the world to try new things. At Cobbossee, what matters isn’t the level of skill with which you play, but rather the enthusiasm with which you play. If you are a boy who just loves to be involved in the game, to have a role, then Cobbossee is for you! We have boys who are really serious about one sport and therefore quite skilled... we have boys who are just fine at many sports and love to play... and we have boys who wouldn’t call themselves ‘great’ at any sports, and they still love to play them. All fit in wonderfully here at Cobbossee. What matters is that you want to be in the mix!

Missing home is totally normal! That’s the first thing to know. If it happens, it isn’t going to "ruin your summer" or anything like that. We like to talk about it as if it is a rain-storm. If it rains at Cobbossee, we either keep playing or do something totally amazing instead of what was planned. Same with missing home. It’s completely understandable that you might miss your house and your family a little. It’s a good thing! We’ve got about a million different approaches to feeling a little homesick, and they all work differently for each boy.

Cobbossee is all about making friends, playing hard, adventuring, and connecting with your counselors. Therefore, the ONLY electronic device that you can bring is an old-school iPod Shuffle or similar mp3 player. Music is great! However, your old-school device CANNOT receive internet, take photos via a camera, store photos, or record and store moving pictures. For the same reasons, electronic games (Gameboys, PSPs, etc) are not permitted at Cobbossee, nor are e-readers like Kindles, Nooks, or Ipad Airs. Bring books! When you are done with any one book, we’ll get you another one!
